On Monday, North Carolina handed down suspensions to 13 members of the football team for the sale of school-issued sneakers. Among those suspended: quarterback Chazz Surratt (seven starts in 2017) and defensive end Malik Carney.

According to DG, the NCAA wants to assess: How bad did things get? In a broad sense, that’s evaluated along two points: one being size and scope; the other relates to how/what school employees — coaches, administrators, etc. — do to stop the problem. How quickly did you catch the scandal? What was the punishment?
